Will Airplay via Mountain Lion work on 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (mid 2007) iMac

One of the main reasons I would purchase OS X Moutain Lion is for its AirPlay feature, in particular to stream Hulu from my iMac to my Apple TV 2. In reading some of the preliminary reviews of Moutain Lion, AirPlay is not supported on older MacBook Pro's. Will it work on my mid 2007 iMac (model identifier: iMac7,1) running a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM?
I'm currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

I am running 10.6.8 but can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor 1.83 GB memory. What should I do?

My MacBook software is 10.6.8 but I can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory. What to do?

Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

I have an iMac 1.83 ghz Intel Core Duo. The sound is suddenly intermittent, the magic mouse erratic. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. How do I correct this? Will Lion run on this machine?

Rebuilding aMacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, hard drive failure so rebuilding system. Aircard will not stop self-assigning IP address. Any ideas how to resolve successfully?

Had hard drive failure on MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, so had to rebuild the OS on new drive. Was on Lion 10.7.5 prior to failure, but had to reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.3 since that was most recent OS on media I had. After finally getting ethernet connection to router working, was able to get to internet and download / upgrade to 10.6.8. I assume I can probably buy the upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 from there.
Problem is this, Airport will not stop self-assigning IP address for my wireless connection, and unless I can get wireless back on this laptop, doesn't make a lot of sense to continue the rebuild and reinstall of all the software that was on it prior to HD failure. Only way to my home network and router is ethernet now. Everything else on my network (Apple MacBook Pro laptops, iPhones, desktops, and non-Apple printers and laptops) is hooking up to router wirelessly fine.
Any ideas how to resolve successfully so that the airport will stop self-assigning and allow the router to assign the IP address?

Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks

I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion? to use icloud.

Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again.
Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work...... at least I think that's what they say.

If you have a Core Duo model then you cannot upgrade to Lion. You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. Look for the Model ID in the displayed information. If you have a MacBookPro 2,1 or later then you have a Core 2 Duo model and can upgrade to Lion.

Can I upgrade to lion when i have a 2 GHz Intel core duo processor ( my computer is 6 years Old) I have snow leopard now.

Can I Upgrade my computer to Lion. I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor. My computer is 6 years old. Right now I have Snow Leopard.

I have an old iMac about that age that I upgraded to Lion to test my 3rd party applications for compatibility. It upgraded quite simply. Please backup or save all your info/etc to an external CD/DVD/Hard drive, then try to run the installer. The Lion installer will analize your Mac for compatibility before it does anything, and will alert you to it's decisision. My 17" iMac is also 2 GHZ Intel core duo. Surprisingly for many of the things I use it for it works as good as my multi thousand dollar MacPro workstation. Best of luck. But Lion isn't compatible with many third party applications and drivers for printers; scanners; etc.

I'm investigating whether I can take on 'Lion' when it's released. The information states that your mac needs Intel Core 2 Duo. Is this the same as '2 GHz Intel Core Duo' which is what it actually states my mac has?

I could not agree more! My MBP 2007 Intel Core Duo has had its logic board replaced not to long ago (DVI port died). The original hard drive is running great and I am running Snow Leopard wonderfully.
I was amped during the keynote and am really looking forward to Lion. I know the community is working hard to uncover a workaround because at present time, the solution (by new!) is not a worthy one. Especially when there is literally, nothing wrong with my existing machine.
Apple, please ensure Lion will be available for Intel Core Duo machines, we are not that old! The closed architecture approach produces quality hardware. 4 years is a toddler perhaps teenager when it comes to apple hardware and technology. I predict I have at least 3-4 more years left in my current MBP 2007 machine.
Much Love, Apple!

My Mac has a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, is it going to be compatible with Lion?

Anything I can do, Niel?
Enjoy it and by the time your machine finally kicks the bucket there will be three more cats gone by.
Likely there won't be any keyboards, trackpads, cd/dvd or hard drives or even screens.
They will just stick a Mac-borg implant in your head and you wave your fingers around in the air to access data.
Think of all the money you'll save in between!

What is a recommended decompression software for a non-Lion compatible MacBook Pro 1,1 2 GHz Intel Core Duo running OS X Version 10.6.8?

My thanks to you and all other respondents. In backing up "theVault" App I thought that my ancient version of Stuffit was inadequate to unzip the backup file. I attempted to download the latest Zipit version which only works with Lion. After upgrading to Stuffit 9 I realized that theVault backup file was encrypted so as to not open on the backup Mac. One must restore to the iPhone where is does open.
My apologies for the imprecise post. I am finding limitations with not being able to install Lion on my early MacBook Pro. I can recommend theVault to those looking for a password App with secure backup.

Will my Macbook 13" late 2006 take the RAM from a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo?

I have a macbook 13" late 2006 and i found it was cheaper to buy a 13" Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo Ram, I was just wondering if the ram out of the pro model will fit my older model?

Some basic guesses from http://www.everymac.com
MacBook 13" Late 2006 is a MacBook2,1 and that uses PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz ram.
MacBook Pro 13" did not use 2.4 GHz but the first of the 13" models was the MacBook Pro7,1 and that uses PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz ram.
Those are not compatible and cannot be used interchangeably.
